The Import Tab


The Import tab of the Administration Manager allows you to import previously exported users and groups to the Spotfire Database user directory on the server. You can also import a list of users from some other system if it is in the STDF format.

You must always import the users before you import any groups. Users can be imported with or without their passwords and the passwords can be included either hashed or in clear text. Do not select to include the passwords if you use LDAP authentication, only when the Spotfire database is used for authentication.

When importing groups you can select whether to import groups as a simple list of the available groups only, or whether you also want to keep the information about which groups were members of other groups. You will also have the possibility to bring along information about which users were members of a certain group.
